Rap is the rawest form of music and poetry that exists. A kid doesn’t need an instrument, he doesn’t need hundred dollar
music lessons, he only needs his brain, his heart, a pen
and a pad, and a 4/4 beat steady in his mind. With a few
choice words and a sincere passion drawn from all the pain
and pride and joy the poet ever felt, rap can deeply touch
the most hardened, the most foreign, of men. The greatest
of the rappers have proven that even if a person cannot directly
relate to the experiences described, he may still understand
the emotions and the driving forces behind them. Rap and
hip-hop are rightfully, intimately linked with Black culture:
so many of today’s listeners, who span every ethnicity and gender and geographical bound, may only understand the
underlying emotion and not the direct experiences. Imagine,
then, what would happen if a non-Black heard a rhyme and
understood both.
They just love my sister
Hate my brother
Despise my father
Had the nerve to make fun of my mother ….
I never in my life imagined I would be hearing lyrics like this set to a hip-hop hook and 4/4 beat.
The Fighting44s are proud to present Snacky Chan of Dynasty Muzik.
Born Roy Kim and hailing from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Snacky became an emcee who quickly gained the attention of the Boston and New York Undergrounds, and was even featured as “Chairman’s Choice” in the internationally-circulated XXL magazine.
He currently lives in Boston and has just dropped his debut LP Part of the Nation. Produced solely by DJ Supreme One and featuring guest appearances by Akrobatik, Ripshop, Singapore, Shuman, Catsy of Yellow Rage, and M-Flo, this is an album that every 44 should own.
